Does your child think sharks are just teeth and terror? There is a whole ocean of truth waiting to be discovered.
From the shadowy deep where hammerheads patrol to the sunlit shallows where nurse sharks rest on the seafloor, this book takes young readers on a fact-packed dive into one of the ocean's most misunderstood creatures.
Inside, young readers will discover:
- What makes a shark's body perfectly built for the ocean - from skin to fins to skeleton
- How sharks use electroreception, lateral lines, and a legendary sense of smell to track prey
- The jaw-dropping science behind shark teeth - how many rows they have and how fast they replace them
- Hunting strategies used by different species, from ambush attacks to cooperative herding
- More than a dozen shark species explained, including whale sharks, bull sharks, and tiger sharks
- The truth about great whites - separating Hollywood myth from real marine biology
- How baby sharks are born and how they survive on their own from day one
- Why sharks matter to ocean ecosystems and what conservation efforts are doing to protect them
